She was beautiful before but felt inadequate, ugly, and this prompted her to open that Pandora’s box of surgery and what must be a living hell. There are so many cases like this, though not as severe. Joceyln Wildenstein is another horrible example.

The “solution” on a societal level is to reject these false and impossible standards of beauty and promote the acceptance of natural beauty and beauty of aging women. Women should not feel inadequate because they are heavy or do not look like stereotypes in magazines.

This idealized beauty is also what the Nazis promoted through the Aryan ideal. Plastic surgery culture and Nazism have in common this fascination with idealized beauty: in the case of one, women become disfigured and bankrupt, under the knives of unscrupulous men, and in the other human beings were murdered because they did not conform to blood purity and Aryan ideals.

Men have done the same to nature, to tame it, to control it. It is time that we as a species learn to live within the limits of nature and natural beauty, not the monstrous ideals created in our imaginations.
